Why didn't you choose ctrl + '+' as increase shortcut? The = version doesn't seem to work with an Italian keyboard (since = can only be reached with Maiusc modifier)

Ah! I hadn't thought about other keyboards.
One convention I'm familiar with is to use - and = to avoid having to use a shift key to increase but not decrease the font size. (Plus can only be used with a shift modifier on a US keyboard.)

Perhaps ctrl + '+' should be the primary shortcut and ctrl + '=' be secondary?

increaseFontSizeItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
